Fellow martial arts athletes and teammates are welcome and encouraged to come to the event and support the SBG tribe.

    Because our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coaches will be at the tournament coaching and supporting the competitors in our tribe, we will be amending our martial arts schedule on the morning of Saturday, February 9th. We will have no Jiu Jitsu Foundations, or Jiu Jitsu classes for adults that day. Our kids martial arts programs will still be held at their usual times of 9am and 10am.
